Counterattack

Rate this book
Don Benito Borghese held Louisiana in a death grip. No illegal activity - murder, robbery, prostitution, dope peddling - took place without his sanction. Brutal, rich, crude and powerful, Borghese was planning the biggest coup of his career - smuggling $650 million worth of heroin into New Orleans. Since he had half the police and politicians on his payroll, he thought it would be a snap. But he hadn't counted on the shipment being hi-jacked by The Marksman.

Summoning the enormous power at his command, Borghese launched a blistering counterattack to recover the smack and wipe-out The Marksman. But Magellan, a cruelly efficient killing machine, crazed for revenge, cut up the organisation like so much bloody meat.

I'm far from being an expert in men's adventure novels (come to think of it - I'm not an expert on any kind of novels) but I'm 100% positive that something is definitely wrong with this one. Doesn't feel like a finished product at all, it's more like a bare manuscript that author would pitch to a publisher and then complete quickly after an approval. While having a drink or two probably.
